THEM PESKY RUSSIANS BUZZ CANUCKS/OBAMA

Evidently there was an intrusion of Soviet aircraft into the Canadian

Arctic during President Obama's visit to Canada a week ago.

According to Defence Minister Peter MacKayPeter MacKay, these intrusions have

intensified of late, most probably due to renewed interest in many

countries vieing for Sovereignty in the vast expanse of Northern

Islands. With global warming and the icepack shrinking more each year,

it has been getting a lot more attention for resource extraction.

Canada has historically laid claim to a great part of the Arctic, but many

countries including Russia and Denmark contest these claims.

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister David EmersonDavid Emerson made note also

of the increased activity, both military and otherwise. Like our

anthem says "The true North Strong and Free..We Stand on Guard for Thee!"

Uh-Oh Canada!

CF-18 Jets were scrambled from Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, Alberta

to intercept the vodka fueled interlopers and keep Mr Obama safe!
